科普專欄–薯不揀單 - 深入淺出–腋下異味的來源

如果測量一個人的細胞數量，事實上只有25%是屬於人體細胞，其餘的75%均由細菌及真菌所據。1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRSi9JdKYw

細菌及真菌可以說是「無處不在」，它們不但寄宿於我們的皮膚外層，亦同時駐紮在我們身體內的腸道及各器官部位，與我們成呈共生關係。1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62VRm6ygJS

最近有科學家發表學術文章（Ref1)，講述位於汗腺附近的細菌就是腋下異味的其中一個元兇。1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyCY9KBBoF

（圖1）我們身體的肝腺大致分為兩種，外分泌汗腺(Eccrine Sweat Glands)及大汗腺1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc1OG8KGZq
(Apocrine Sweat Glands)1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIVM6c0ae2

前者接近遍佈全身，不與毛髮連接。後者主要位於腋下、乳頭及私處部位，與毛髮連接。1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvPdL88JLX
1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGFRdIEPrN
外分泌汗腺的主要功能就是散發汗水幫助散熱，調節體溫。1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvzfaUs3va
1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffsiYFTsie
而大汗腺的主要功能，到目前為止仍未能搞得清楚。1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEWsGWVHqc

（圖2）下列三點為文中所找出的異味散發機制。1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnALWRuaj9H
1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8Ri8MWFzM
1.大汗腺釋出無味物質Cys-Gly-3M3SH。1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLunVEdkFw
1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1tLsJfZkX
2.腋下某品種的葡萄球菌消化Cys-Gly-3M3SH。1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSW5get1nG
1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfvxWTwueD
3. 葡萄球菌消化過後，吐出帶有異味的3M3SH。1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNrLruJqVl
1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGWBm0pok5
換句話說，腋下的異味就是由這些細菌引致而成的。1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnaelzOOgM

（圖3）為作進一步的證實，科學家利用黃金葡萄球菌作對照實驗。1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLZIu7ZEfn
1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEVKXnfA9H
他們發現人葡萄球菌的近親黃金葡萄球菌並沒能夠將無味的Cys-Gly-3M3SH消化成為帶有異味的3M3SH。1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkZpQhmhAR
但是，當把人葡萄球菌其中一隻酵素轉移到黃金葡萄球菌後，無味的Cys-Gly-3M3SH便能夠被消化成為帶有異味的3M3SH，證實異味是由那隻酵素所致。1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV1X4zVog0
1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ1CRBc5Kn
這隻酵素一直以來並沒有被前人發現，亦即是說，只要能夠研發出抑制那隻酵素的止汗劑的話，腋下的大部份異味亦能得以除去；1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qASzXNu4W
1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0mOlanDL1
異味的產生，基本上是由硫醇（Thioalcohol)及脂肪酸(Fatty acid)而成。此文章所談及的機制純屬與硫醇的產生有關，沒有觸及脂肪酸那一方面。1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCjX2rpnXG
1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC1jyDki8X
而臭狐是否由這細菌引起或有份參與，文中並沒有提及。1945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbLrvm6wEQ
